Lin Dong's Shock: Why Was There Such a Monster Beast at Brother Liu Yuan's Door?

However.

This small matter was no difficulty at all for Liu Yuan now.

"Since you little thing are so picky, insisting on Monster Beast Meat to stay full..."

"Then I'll take you into the mountains and hunt down a few Monster Beasts that don't know their place."

He affectionately rubbed the little cat's head in his arms, then carried her toward the Lin Family's Back Mountain.

About Half an Hour later.

When Liu Yuan returned to his new residence, he had a massive corpse in his hands.

It was a huge Ironback Bear, thick-skinned and immensely strong—a genuine early-stage Earth Origin Realm Monster Beast.

"Go on."

Liu Yuan casually tossed the heavy Ironback Bear corpse into a corner of the courtyard, producing a dull thud.

The Phantom Spirit Cat, who had long been unable to hold herself back, turned into a white blur and pounced over with a whoosh.

Although her body was a mere speck compared to the mountain-like Ironback Bear.

Her eating speed was astonishingly fast.

Her sharp little baby teeth seemed like divine weapons, effortlessly tearing through the Ironback Bear's tough hide.

In just a few moments.

The little cat let out a satisfied burp, licked her paws contentedly, then lazily jumped back into the cat bed Liu Yuan had specially made for her and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan helplessly shook his head.

"I really don't know how that little belly of yours is made."

The days that followed became peaceful and warm.

Aside from necessary cultivation, Liu Yuan spent more of his time and energy keeping Qing Tan company.

Because Liu Yuan knew very well.

Once the Flame City map opened, he would have to head to Flame City to develop first.

But Qing Tan was different.

She had no cultivation yet, and the Yin Sha Qi within her body was unstable, so she was better off staying with the Lin Family.

Therefore.

In the short term, the two of them would likely have to face a brief separation.

At that thought, Liu Yuan cherished their present time together all the more.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half quietly passed.

During this time.

The Phantom Spirit Cat's changes were also astonishing.

From the outside, she still looked petite, adorable, and completely harmless.

But only Liu Yuan knew.

The power contained within that little thing had grown to a terrifying degree!

Fed daily on large quantities of high-grade Monster Beast Meat, the Phantom Spirit Cat was no longer what she used to be.

Even a ferocious late-stage Earth Origin Realm Monster Beast would have only death awaiting it in a life-or-death battle against her!

On this day.

The weather was fair, and the sun shone brightly.

Liu Yuan's new residence was a picture of tranquil peace.

Beside the stone table in the courtyard.

Liu Yuan leisurely sipped fragrant tea while Qing Tan sat beside him, her slender fingers brushing the strings as she played a melodious, lingering tune.

The young woman was as beautiful as a painting, while the young man carried himself with extraordinary grace.

Their music harmonized perfectly, like an immortal couple.

Just then.

Whoosh!

A streak of white light suddenly shot over the courtyard wall, shattering the tranquility.

Immediately afterward.

A thick scent of blood spread through the air.

"Meow~"

The Phantom Spirit Cat walked gracefully, seeming to drag something heavy in her mouth as she trotted all the way to Liu Yuan's feet.

As though presenting a treasure, she dropped her prey onto the ground, then raised her little head and blinked her large eyes at Liu Yuan, her expression clearly saying, Praise me already.

Liu Yuan set down his teacup and looked down.

At the sight, even he could not help but pause in slight surprise.

Lying on the ground was a jet-black leopard-type Monster Beast, with an eerie, faint glow flowing over its fur.

Though it was already dead, the savage aura lingering on its corpse still made one's heart tremble.

"This is..."

Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow and recognized the Monster Beast at once.

"A Black Soul Leopard?"

This was no ordinary wild beast.

The Black Soul Leopard was a vicious beast famed for its speed and stealth, cruel and cunning by nature.

More importantly.

An adult Black Soul Leopard possessed strength comparable to an early-stage Heavenly Origin Realm human expert!

Even in the deep mountains surrounding Qing Yang Town, it was an overlord-class existence.

Who would have thought.

That it had been hunted and brought back single-handedly by his own "little kitty"?

And judging from the wounds on the Black Soul Leopard, every one of them was fatal in a single blow. It had clearly been killed instantly without any ability to resist.

"This little thing is growing even faster than I imagined..."

Liu Yuan secretly marveled.

It had only been a month and a half, yet she could already hunt an early-stage Heavenly Origin Realm Monster Beast?

This growth rate was far faster than that of humans.

He reached out and gently scratched the Phantom Spirit Cat beneath the chin, smiling as he praised her.

"Good job."

"Since you caught it yourself, I'll reward it to you."

"But don't eat it here. You'll make the whole place smell of blood and ruin Qing Tan's and my enjoyment of tea."

"Go eat at the entrance."

"Meow!"

Having received her master's praise and permission, the Phantom Spirit Cat immediately cried out excitedly.

Then.

Without any ceremony, she picked up the Black Soul Leopard's corpse, which was dozens of times larger than her, and happily dragged it toward the residence's front gate.

Watching the comical sight of a small ball of white dragging away a huge mass of black, Qing Tan could not help covering her mouth and laughing softly.

"Brother Liu Yuan, Xiao Huan is really amazing."

"She can even catch such a huge Monster Beast and bring it back."

Liu Yuan smiled and refilled Qing Tan's cup.

"She's just greedy."

"Come, let's continue. You haven't finished the song yet."

However.

Just as the Phantom Spirit Cat dragged her trophy to the entrance and was about to feast.

Several sets of footsteps suddenly sounded from the distant path.

Lin Dong was walking over.

And beside him was a tiger covered in crimson fur, as though it had been condensed from flames.

It was the top-grade Monster Beast pet he had obtained at the hunting grounds—the juvenile Fire Python Tiger!

Lin Dong continued forward with the Fire Python Tiger.

Although he had seen the Phantom Spirit Cat eating meat from afar earlier, she looked far too harmless, so Lin Dong had not paid much attention to her.

Roar!

But when Lin Dong truly approached the Phantom Spirit Cat, the Fire Python Tiger bit down on his trouser leg.

"What is it, Little Yan?"

Lin Dong looked at Little Yan, the Fire Python Tiger, in confusion.

But the next moment, the Phantom Spirit Cat sensed the presence of strangers and immediately became agitated.

"Meow!"

Along with her angry cry.

An incomparably powerful and terrifying aura surged forth, so overwhelming that even Lin Dong and Little Yan felt immense pressure.

The Phantom Spirit Cat stared at Lin Dong and Little Yan with Fiend Qi billowing around her.

And after sensing that terrifying aura, Lin Dong's face was instantly filled with intense shock.

"This aura..."

"Is actually this powerful?"

"Why is there such a Monster Beast at Brother Liu Yuan's door?"
